    Winds are 10-15 MPH steady, gusting to 20+ here, had to adjust combustion air down 5% - first time I had to do that this season.. It be Chilly outside today.

    * Hence the "later" above.. Else I'd be using a Calculator, Abacus, and a Slide Rule, to figure it out. :D

    Mine frosts inside the house,but usually not until -10 or below,but we have lower humidity out here.I have the 3" tubing(harman recommended)and(I think I mentioned this before?)bought a aluminum (used,ebay)y valve,for a vacuum system,for wood shop,added a spring,taped over the shaft opening,so it is 95% or more sealed,and just flip the valve when I see frost,burn inside air,for an hour or two.May not work back in your humidity,but works well here.Also,the year before I did this,I slid off the pipe/tubing,whenever I saw frost,never saw any on the inside.

    Awesome and exactly what i did eventually saying well Dumbarse just pull it off and check the inside ! ( Just wanted to keep JT thinking about Frosted Flakes)

    I can assure you that my dirt basement has more humidity than most basements actually I can guarantee this but having the p43 down there helps significantly and really the only reason I can store my pellets in the basement . Seems for me sub-zero the oak will start its frosting and usually just condensate above zero with a tad bit of frost at the top where it exists the structure.
    Gonna make JT yearn for some more frosted flakes is this thread keeps on keeping on :cool:
